The mobo on our PC went kaput, so we got a new one.
I set the BIOS to boot from CD 1st and am using a WinXP Home (the same
OS that's still on the HD.)
Half the time when we try to boot, it locks up after we "Press a key
to boot from CD...." and the other half of the time it goes through
the prep to set up XP, and then blue screens with:
BAD_SYSTEM_CONFIG_INFO
(stuff)
STOP: 0x00000074
(A couple of times it would bluescreen with:
STOP: c0000221 Unknown Hard Error
\SystemRoot\System32\ntdll.dll
Which is kind of odd, because it's booting from the CD not the HD.)
I've tried resetting the BIOS, using Optimal settings, I've used a
different stick of RAM...and all the same thing.
Any ideas??
Thanks!
